Pontiac infant in stable condition after inhaling pepper spray

An infant was in stable condition after inhaling pepper spray that its mother used in self-defense at a home in the 400 block of Moore in Pontiac.

The homeowner there told her brother and his girlfriend -- the infant's mother -- that they had to move out of her home shortly after midnight Monday, and the mother assaulted her, according to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office.

The homeowner sprayed pepper spray in self-defense, and the fumes traveled across the room to where the infant was sleeping, deputies said.

Investigators are seeking a warrant against the mother for domestic assault.
